We analyze the contribution of speculation to exchange rate volatility using different assumptions regarding … speculation strategies and monetary policy rules. We take the DORNBUSCH (1976) model as the starting point and adopt a slight … modification of the money demand specification. With a money supply rule, rational speculation dampens the overshooting of the …

The dynamic effects of ECB announcements, disentangled into pure monetary policy and central bank information shocks, on the euro (EUR) exchange rate are examined using a Bayesian Proxy Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model fed with high-frequency data. Contractionary monetary policy shocks result...
